Canyons

You have no need to be afraid of me
I am not vicious like they say
I was just a boy then, I have done as
Anyone might do in my place
I was the second son, my father's gone,
I know there is no farmer's life for me
When the creek ran dry, the gang and I
Did what we could to feed our families
To the Canyons we shall ride
But we can't hide forever
With a price upon our heads, we moved out further west
Towards the sandy sea
If the troopers ever track us down
They'll see how brave a farmer's boy can be
To the Canyons we shall ride
But we can't hide forever
In the Canyons we are safe
But we can't run forever

Circles
04:36
|

I don't want to talk anymore
It hasn't achieved a thing
It's just words going 'round in circles
And waiting for the other to blink
You'll never get to understand me
You're better trying to raise the dead
You've ground the life out of the party
And it's messing up your pretty head
We've gone a little far for excuses
The fiction's too rich for denial
So maybe we should ease up on each other,
If just for a while
Please don't make me suffer
Any more than I really have to
It's hard enough being in love
With one who doesn't love you
I wrote it all down on paper
Then tore it up and threw it away
The message was a little uncertain
The message was just shades of grey
It's not so hard to see through the numbers
Breaking the unbreakable code
There's a bomb in the lonely briefcase
Step back, because it's gonna blow
We've gone a little far for excuses
The fiction's too rich for denial
So maybe we should ease up on each other,
If just for a while
Please don't make me suffer
Any more than I really have to
It's hard enough being in love
With one who doesn't love you

Andalusia
Too far away you are
A destination
Tacked on a shooting star
Cold you be my preciosa?
We just need a song we can sing along to
Andalusia
Your nylon string guitars
Play a dance, a flamenco dance
Wherever we are
Could you be my preciosa?
We just need a song we can sing along to
So you played with your parchment moon
We said farewell too soon
Did Federico notice?
And you are my preciosa,
We found us a song we can sing along to

Snowflake
03:25
|

Are you someone who likes to catch a falling snowflake on your tongue?
Do you take a few together or catch them one by one?
It's the greatest puzzle faced by humankind
And in Berlin, does inspiration come without or from within?
Does it happen when each snowflake melts upon your skin?
That's how I like to see it in my mind
Delicate in every way
As different as can be
Stand so still, let them kiss your face and
Imagine that it's me

Other Weaknesses
05:19
|

Oh Miss Price,
I know that we've met
But I can't pick the place or time
Never mind,
Both of us are gonna get along just fine
I might be wrong,
It's never as simple as just getting along
It's so much more,
And once you give in completely
It's nothing at all
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses
On any side
There are those who work hard
And those just along for the ride
I can't decide if some of us fit
Or some of us get left behind
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses
Oh Miss Price,
Bandits and heroes embody our hopes and desires
Don't be surprised
You can be anything,
You can be anything you like
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses
We're so fond of
Love and other weakness,
Love and other weaknesses

Trivia

|

Pop quiz,
Question number one
What unravels and comes undone?
It's probable, but no certainty that
Trivia has got a hold on me
Trivia
Pop quiz,
Question number two
Are you happy, false or true?
The greatest minds of the century all thought that
Trivia is an inconstancy
Trivia
I must be so naive
To think that trivia
Trivia
Trivia
Actual, not factual
Actual, not factual
Actual, not factual
Actual, not factual
Pop quiz,
Question number three
You must answer honestly
We're so in love when we want to be
But Trivia will get the best, you'll see
Trivia
I must be so naive
To think that Trivia
Trivia
Trivia was something to believe

Broke My Own Heart
03:12
|
|||
Your eyes are a window, I gaze at my risk
I try not to look but temptation insists
So put on your red shirt and pretty white dress
Let's try to find some way out of this mess
We're so helpless for our part
For choosing romances so doomed from the start
Falling for you
I broke my own heart
I hate that I love you, I hate that you know
I hate that we have to go on with the show
I hate that I'm never going to forget
These feelings we've had since the day that we met
We're so helpless for our part
When all these stray bullets somehow found their mark
Falling for you
I broke my own heart
I'd paint you a picture if only I could
Of two little children alone in the woods
I'd make sure that girl looked a little like you
But that little boy's face would be hidden from view
To hide his tears in the dark
For he knows at the edge of the woods they must part
Falling for you
He broke his own heart
Falling for you
I broke my own heart

Oscillate
03:20
|
|||
Any kind of road our thoughts can take
Gravity can hold, or give and take
Mix up the elements, give them a shake
Turn science into art
Particles and waves where stars collide
Matter in the dark, no place to hide
Between the time and space
Between the time and space
You oscillate
You oscillate my heart
You oscillate
You oscillate my heart
What do you say when the light goes out?
When the air runs out?
You oscillate
You oscillate my heart
You oscillate
You oscillate my heart

The Wash
12:40
|
|||
It's no secret that your devotion
Can break my already fragile emotions
After all
After all
It all comes out in the wash
It all comes out...
Heavy hearts and sunken features
The hand to save us might just reach us
After all
After all
It all comes out in the wash
It all comes out in the wash
It all comes out in the wash
It all comes out...
